History YMMV / Enough

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: You can't help but notice a more than passing resemblance between this movie and 1991's ''Film/SleepingWithTheEnemy'', which many regard as a superior film. [[note]] Even though upon its original release, this was [[VindicatedByHistory not the case and was only regarded as an "average" film at best]].[[/note]]

* BrokenBase: Is the movie a relatable and accurate portrayal of [[DomesticAbuse]] that shows a true (even if not perfect) empowerment of women against abusive and entitled men? Or is it just another Hollywood message movie that relies too much on cliches to get the message across? People often have a field day with this, especially when you consider the [[MisaimedFandom]] of it.

* MisaimedFandom: Chances are anybody who has been in or even close to domestic violence situations will praise and idealize this film to the point of ignoring potential flaws. This is in spite of the film making some reasonably questionable choices, such as completely skipping over their marriage and putting the entire story from Slim's perspective, making Mitch a Hollywood psycho with no human context in his behavior,

* ValuesResonance: While the movie doesn't really explore Mitch's personality, the arrogant and entitled way he thinks and behaves has certainly become more in line with what is often on social media platforms in the late 2010s and especially going into the 2020s.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Out of the many criticisms the film received, one of the ''biggest'' complaints was that the film never even once bothers to try to humanize Mitch's possessive and dominant personalities or his particularly stubborn depiction of abusive behavior, not even a ''little bit''. This resulted in many viewers seeing his character simply as a very bland and uninteresting psycho villain in a depiction of domestic violence, with little understanding of the character.

** Even though she clearly did not deserve the abuse or infidelity that Mitch subjected her to, some fans believe that Slim ignored all the warning signs about him (his [[AmbitionIsEvil driven personality,]] the fact that, although he most likely than not paid him off handsomely, he ''ordered'' a complete stranger out of his home just so he and Slim could have it, the fact that he wouldn't let her hold Gracie after she was born, etc.) was because she was a GoldDigger and also left Joe due to him having more money than he does.

* WTHCastingAgency: Music/JenniferLopez as a poor, down-on-her-luck waitress? Creator/BillyCampbell as a wife-beater? Creator/NoahWyle as his evil wingman?

* AcceptableProfessionalTargets:
** Waitresses, who are said to be dumb and only in the job because they have no other skills. Though it is part of a conversation between Mitch and Robbie, who are both misogynists so it's likely their perspective only, as Slim is shown to be very capable and resourceful.
** Law enforcement in general are seen as being [[PoliceAreUseless useless]], [[DirtyCop corrupt]] or [[BadCopIncompetentCop incompetent.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: Many instances throughout the film:
** '''You'd Expect:''' Slim and Gracie to go into a shelter where they would be protected just so her daughter would not be "tainted".
** '''Instead:''' They go into a motel that anyone could enter.

* WhatAnIdiot: Many instances throughout the film, but for starters, there's Slim's decision for her and Gracie to go into a motel that anyone could enter instead of a shelter where they would be protected just so her daughter would not be "tainted".

** Although it's apparently intended to be serious, as Roger Ebert noted, Mitch is a completely absurd, {{Flanderized}} caricature of an abusive husband; not just a hybridization of Germaine Greer's worst nightmare, and Franchise/{{Godzilla}} in human form, he's also, for the purposes of the plot, practically omnipotent. The scene where he rampages through the house of Slim's terrified parents is particularly amusing. Mitch himself may not necessarily be in it ForTheEvulz (he's generally shown to be angry), but that's no reason for us in the audience not to be.

** Jennifer Lopez and Juliette Lewis' joint-catchphrase: "Piece of cake, piece of pie". This is repeated numerous times throughout the film. Towards the end, they even abbreviate it to the non-sequitur "Cake, pie".

* WTHCastingAgency: Music/JenniferLopez as a poor, down-on-her-luck waitress? [[Film/TheRocketeer Billy Campbell]] as a wife-beater? [[Series/{{ER}} Noah Wyle]] as his evil wingman?

* {{Narm}} Factor Nine, Captain!:

** Jennifer Lopez and Juliette Lewis' joint-catchphrase. "Piece of cake" "Piece of Pie". Repeated numerous times throughout the film, towards the end they even abbreviate it to the non-sequitur "Cake" "Pie".

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: "[[{{Tagline}} Self defense is not murder]]"... huh... it ''[[BrokenAesop is]]'' if it's premeditated (including breaking and entering and FramingTheGuiltyParty). The law is very clear on that.
